charles bernstein a milano, il 20 novembre al castello sforzesco

A Milano, domenica 20 novembre, h. 12, al Castello Sforzesco, Sala della Balla, si presenta il libro di Charles Bernstein, Echo / Eco (Edizioni del verri, 2022, testo inglese e traduzione italiana), con Barbara Anceschi, Carla Buranello, Marco Giovenale. Sarà presente l’autore.

L’incontro fa parte del ciclo di eventi Bookcity:

Eco/Echo raccoglie le poesie scelte dall’autore a partire da Senses of Responsibility del 1979 fino agli ultimi testi usciti quest’anno negli Stati Uniti in Topsy-Turvy. Ma non è un’antologia con testo a fronte. È un libro bifronte: da una parte i testi in inglese, dall’altra, capovolto il volume, si trovano le traduzioni curate da altri poeti italiani che nell’arco della loro attività hanno collaborato con Bernstein nel segno di una poesia sperimentale e d’invenzione. Il libro si conclude con la traduzione del V canto di Catullo compiuta a quattro mani insieme alla curatrice. Il volume accoglie inoltre un saggio di Bernstein sui rapporti tra poesia americana contemporanea e poesia italiana e una dettagliata nota bio-bibliografica dell’autore. Per Bernstein la eco/echo-poetica è pensare alla scrittura come forma di ascolto verso una “risonanza non lineare di un motivo che rimbalza su un altro. Ancora di più, è la sensazione di allusione in assenza di allusione. In altre parole, l’eco che sto cercando – è lo stesso Bernstein a dircelo – è uno spazio vuoto: l’ombra di una fonte assente”.

documenta fifteen: “handbook”

DOCUMENTA FIFTEEN
Handbook
Hatje Cantz, 2022

Documenta 15 is no ordinary art exhibition. Working with the guiding concept of “lumbung,” the Indonesian collective ruangrupa―the exhibition’s curators―are less concerned with individual works than with models of collaborative practice. This guide offers insights into and orientation for the processes that evolved in the creation of the exhibition.
A comprehensive resource both for visitors of Documenta in Kassel and anyone interested in collective practices, this guide presents all the collectives and artists featured in Documenta 15 through in-depth profiles by international authors. Taking the question “what is lumbung?” as an organizing principle, the book offers an introduction to the concept and cultural background of Documenta 15, with documents and photographs tracing the collectives’ working processes. A chapter surveying the show’s locations in Kassel, as well as a large fold-out map and an introduction to the exhibition’s public program, are also included.

lindsay caplan, “arte programmata. freedom, control and the computer in 1960s italy”

Sandro Ricaldone

LINDSAY CAPLAN
Arte Programmata
Freedom, Control and the Computer in 1960s Italy
University of Minnesota Press, 2022

Tracing the evolution of the Italian avant-garde’s pioneering experiments with art and technology and their subversion of freedom and control
In postwar Italy, a group of visionary artists used emergent computer technologies as both tools of artistic production and a means to reconceptualize the dynamic interrelation between individual freedom and collectivity. Arte Programmata traces the multifaceted practices of these groundbreaking artists and their conviction that technology could provide the conditions for a liberated social life.

_____

Lindsay Caplan’s Arte Programmata offers a compelling account of a group of lesser-known artists affiliated with the Italian Arte Programmata movement, whose experimental art and design practices, emerging in the nascent years of computerization, pointedly (and presciently) engaged with political questions around freedom and control, individuality and collectivity. Beautifully written, sharply analytic, and free of jargon, Caplan’s incisive study should find a place on the bookshelves of anyone interested in the roots and impacts of technological change.
